Contrary to popular belief, burnout isn’t caused by a lack of work-life balance. It’s driven more by the lack of ability to do meaningful work. Why I Find Bullshit Work Intolerable | Hacker News

Wasted quite some time to figure out why [ "$actual" = "$expected" ] in my shell script did actually report inequality. Printing both variables with echo "'$expected'" and also piping them through sha1sum like echo -n "$expected" | sha1sum (even tried without the -n flag) clearly showed that they were the same. In the end, set -x saved my day. actual contained captured stdout of a process with proper newlines, but I had used expected="foo\\nbar", hence the comparison saw a literal backslash-n and no newline…

@movq @prologic Nice. I proabably also should go outside instead of sitting in my dark cave in front of the computer.
@movq Hmmm. Fingers crossed. Well, that's your punishment for watching too much YouTube instead of being in the woods. :-D
@prologic Great!

Good morning to you all! Just had the morning walk with the dog in the rain, it's raining pretty bad today, all day.
But that also means I have some time for my computer later today. I just have to figure out what to do first :)
Probably code a bit, or reinstall one of my computers, I've been wanting to run #OpenBSD again, I tried it on one of my laptops, but wifi did not work for some reason, but I have some wifi dongles - so I'll try with that, or install on one of my other laptops.
I have a #Thinkpad #x200 with #libreboot, I might give it a shot there - all though it takes some time to get it to work with libreboot, I did install it some years ago though, so I think that should work again now. Either way I'll figure out something to tinker with today!

@lyse Hm, I was going to say: “Mine is a Dell S2421H, how different can it be? Probably the same panel.” But then I saw that the U2412M even has a different resolution. 🥴

I wonder if this goes away during winter when the humidity drops … That’s my only hope. 😅

@eapl.me yarnd is centralised if you run a large instance with a large number of users.The design of the software itself discourages an operator from doing this, the more users you have, the more resources the pod would consume. It was never designed for this.

yarnd is however strictly decentralised, with _some_ distributed features that allow "peering pods" to talk to each other, often exchanging "missing Twts" among peers. This is useful to correct chains or fill in missing roots -- Because the whole "network" is decentralised. This is one of the downsides of a decentralised system, so we had to figure out a "middle ground".

@abucci Yeah thanks! 🙏 I _think_ I've read this very paper myself, the difference between centralisation, decentralisation and distributed systems are basically summed up in the figure:

@movq Lovely. Listened to all of then in the background and I think the first one was the best.
Fuck yeah, this is bloody awesome! I'm playing around with vim-go and this makes soooooooo much fun. Unbelievable. I don't know, how I could ever work without that. This turns Vim into a nice Go IDE. I'm super excited for the whole evening and grin from ear to ear. \\\\o/ ow I need to create a cheatsheet for all that and pin it next to my monitor.

Highly recommended, @prologic, in case you haven't used that either. :-)

@movq I reckon that's the downside of data protection. Or they might have just used this as a welcome excuse.

@movq What the heck!? O_o I can't complain about mine, Dell U2412M. A bit over three years old now. A mate has them much longer (he recommended them to me) and they're still going strong.
Ta, @movq.
@movq Yeah, having control of the camera always helps. The only half-working auto-focus was definitely an issue I had.

My workmate was also a bit caught in this disaster when coming home from vacaction and got her train ride rescheduled the day after in the morning. Pretty crazy reports from over there.
@movq Phew, I'm safe for now.
@movq It's doing something. In an endless loop. :-D
